Bruce Holwerda

For our Artist's Retreat/Cabin on the Lake project, I selected the artist Bruce Holwerda as my client and precedent. After browsing a wide variety of genres and artists, I feel that not only does he offer a wonderfully different aesthetic appeal, but his artistic philosophy is fun and experimental (which also can translate wonderfully into a private retreat on a beautiful lakeside). Here are some of my favorite works of his: 

Distortion, Bruce Holwerda
Too Much Information, Bruce Holwerda

Synchronicity I Think, Bruce Holwerda


Eye On The Prize, Holwerda




"My passion as an artist has been the wonder of experimentation and the thrill of seeing the results of a finished piece. My history as a visual artist has been to play with the medium, to have fun with the subject and composition. I am a big fan of many forms of art. I love to study photo realistic landscapes and wildlife paintings, I am in awe of modern glasswork and am fascinated with bronze sculpture. But when my creative spirit kicks in, I want to paint..." 

"...Hopefully, my work will always continue to grow and evolve, combining fresh ideas and innovative executions." -The Artist Statement http://www.adamholwerda.com/bruceholwerda/aboutheart.html

He is also active in the Facebook Community and offers images on his blog on Tumblr. 
Please check out the artist's official website for more information, local art events he will be attending/displaying his works, as well as purchasing information.
